Hi guys,
I am a new rider, never owned a bike. I want a Thruxton.
Financially it is viable. However, the catch is I am only 18 years of age.
I want to know if I should consider it as a first bike? I've searched the forum and people seem to think it is fine as a first bike.
The UK laws being as they are, this would mean getting it restricted to 33bhp. I don't really have an issue with this, it's probably a good idea. If i wanted to i could be irresponsible and have it removed, breaking the law. I wouldnt intend to do this at first.
What is the point in having a fairly big bike and restricting it? Well, i see it as a long term purchase. This would effectively be my first, second and third bike all in one without the need to change.
My dad has plenty of experience with bikes so i am not totally getting in too deep with it, i do know about them and i do know what i want.
No definitive questions to answer, but your thoughts would be very greatly appreciated; even if you want to call me an immature twat!
Look forward to being a member here.
